Internship Opportunity in Sustainability

We are continuously seeking interns in sustainability. We have previously welcomed interns from programs such as Global Studies and Sustainable Enterprise Development at Jönköping University.

At Science Park, we are passionate about developing sustainable ideas and companies, and we are convinced that innovation is a key component in addressing climate change and societal challenges around us. Our mission includes educating, inspiring, and developing our entrepreneurs, companies, and individuals in various aspects of sustainability from a business development perspective. We also drive various projects, hold lectures, organize business development programs, and host a variety of events and activities each year. In all of these, we incorporate sustainability, even though the focus is on the business development of ideas and companies.

Science Park has a close collaboration with students, teachers, and student associations at Jönköping University. We are also here for all residents of the region, which means that we sometimes hold activities in other parts of the county.

As an intern in sustainability, you will, among other things:

• participate in organizing activities for students and entrepreneurs
• attend business development meetings and creative workshops
• assist in various project efforts
• participate in organizing an annual hackathon with over 250 participating students at Jönköping University.
• have the opportunity to delve into research work on various sustainability challenges.

You are encouraged to come up with your own ideas and input throughout the entire internship period regarding the activities and assignments you participate in.
